Mr. Campbell to Mr. Seward

No. 31.]
New Orleans, May 28, 1867.

Sir: Your despatches No. 26, dated April 30th, No. 27, dated May 17th, and No. 28, dated May 20th, were all duly received.

I have no information in regard to the fall of Queretaro, and the capture of Maximilian and his army, other than that which has already been generally published in the newspapers.

There are various conflicting reports here as to the disposition the government of President Juarez has ordered to be made of Maximilian and his leading chiefs. These are too vague and uncertain to be relied on, and therefore I consider it useless to repeat them.

I have the honor to remain, most respectfully, your obedient servant,

LEWIS D. CAMPBELL.

Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
